Default Need to upgrade MAF?

Not sure if I'm just confused or really confused
I have a FAST 90 and NW 90 TB setup for my turbo project. Should I/do I have to upgrade the MAF? If so, would the 85mm be sufficient?

thanks

Have you logged any runs to see what it's reading? Mine was maxing out early (cells maxed at 400 @ 4k rpsm) & I just continued the curve / increased the cells to their max value of 512 & it seemed to help at the upper rpms.

You dont really need to ditch the maf. If you are running a large pain in the *** cam, then maybe considering ditching the maf and going speed density, but what are your horsepower goals?

You should just be able to tune right on top of the max maf freq by raising the power enrichment values.

I am going to speak for both of us, as from what I have read we are close in goals. We are still in the process of getting motors into our cars. I dont have a MAF, so there lies my problem. We are both building mild to a little wild turbo cars. I am still researching and gathering parts at the moment. Im sure he will chime in soon.... hopefully with updates.

What he said. I'm expecting 600-650rwhp from my combo, more would be nice.
Updates?, no, not really. I'm still collecting parts but have to get a couple bills paid off first
